Confirm WP PowerSuite Pro is installed and your license is active.
Open the module settings and save.

Toggle it off anytime to stop this module from loading.

How to test it

Confirm Media Rename Manager is enabled under WP PowerSuite -> Modules -> Media.
Use the feature this module controls (the admin UI, front-end behavior, upload, login flow, etc.).
✅ Pass: you see the module-specific behavior described above.
❌ Fail: re-check this module’s settings and Pro install/license, then look for another plugin doing the same job.

Troubleshooting

No change after enabling. Confirm the toggle is on, hard-refresh, and review this module’s settings.
A similar filename was not rewritten. Expected - only this attachment’s exact URL and filename tokens are replaced.
Conflicts. Temporarily disable other plugins that implement the same feature.
Locked / inactive. Install WP PowerSuite Pro beside the free plugin and activate your license.
Unexpected side effect. Toggle Media Rename Manager off to revert, then re-enable with adjusted settings.

Manage with WP-CLI

Prefer the command line? You can turn this module on or off with WP-CLI instead of the dashboard:

# Turn the module on
wp powersuite module enable media-rename-manager

# Turn the module off
wp powersuite module disable media-rename-manager

# Check whether it is on, its category, and where its settings live
wp powersuite module get media-rename-manager

Managing more than one site? Add --url=https://example.com to point a command at one site. If this is a Pro module, install WP PowerSuite Pro and activate your license first. New to WP-CLI? See the full command guide.
